US F-16A (Block 10/15) Countermeasure Dispenser
(Source : War thunder Wiki F-16A)
While Taiwanese F-16A MLU Having Additional Countermeasure Dispenser still having 60 CMs instead of 90 so What’s the point of having extra CMs dispenser but you can’t even use it
Taiwanese F-16A MLU Block 20 Countermeasure Dispenser Still hold 60 of CMs instead of 90
(Source : in-game F-16A MLU bc War Thunder Wiki using F-16A (Block 10/15) pic for no reason)
Maybe just a balancing downgrade gimmick by Gaijin when the F-16s were first introduced to the game and they wanted the Chinese one compared to the American, Italian and Japanese F-16A to have the same amount of countermeasures despite visually having more since the MLU has larger vertical stabilizers than the other F-16A-10/15 whilst also having TWS capability and also the AIM-7Ms essentially making it the ‘best jack of all trades’ F-16A you can play at the same BR of the other Fighting Falcons.
No that’s not it, they didn’t reduce it from 90 to 60 until they added arh missiles, which it’s supposed to carry.
id really suggest bug reporting this since im gonna have this beauty soon
can you do it? bc idk how to do bug report
Dm me and we can work on it together if u want
There’s been a lot of bug reports on this issue and it seems they have no intention of fixing it soon. It’s also supposed to have 120 countermeasures instead of 60 or 90.

And there’s an older report on the old forum that mentions the same.
I know this is not the right topic but having your support would be nice.
I made a bug report to have a modernization of the F-100F into F-100F wild weasel

And need AIM120，ROC’s F-16 have AIM120 and AIM9M
It doesn’t need those things though.
The F-16MLU has been equipped, both offensively and defensively, to exist within it’s BR. The plane is fine as it is, where it is on the BR scale.
It’s only at its br because of its loadout. It could be a better plane at a higher br. It’s not like it’s some outdated airframe that would suffer at 13.7 it’s an f16 with a great radar and great flight performance.
